Microchip has created several new 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller (MCU)-based Cerebot development boards with prototyping capabilities for the Arduino compatible chipKIT development platform.
The Cerebot MX3cK, Cerebot MX4cK and Cerebot MX7cK (MX3/4/7) boards provide a single, general-purpose development platform for users to develop a wide range of 32-bit MCU applications using the free, Arduino-compatible chipKIT IDE – called the Multi-Platform IDE, or ‘MPIDE’. Users can later migrate to development tools that are more widely recognised in the industry, such as Microchip’s MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB C Compiler for PIC32 MCUs.
The Cerebot MX3/4/7 boards break free from the traditional Arduino form factor, providing flexible pin access and connectivity with Digilent’s line of Pmod peripheral modules.
The new boards include hardware that enables connectivity to the MPIDE, so users can develop with chipKIT via a bootloader application. Microchip’s PICkit 3 debugger/programmer can be used with the MX3cK. The MX4cK and MX7cK, boards feature an integrated programmer/debugger. These boards are each populated with multiple connectors for Digilent’s numerous Pmod I/O interface boards, which provide ready-made interface circuitry for LCD, wireless, motor control, sensor and many other applications, minimising the need for users to create original circuitry.
